Deadpool 2 Will Be Deadpool On A Fast Lane Going Crazy

The entire team of the original movie Deadpool is coming back for the sequel, from Blind-Al to Vanessa, the driver, Colossus, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead will be reprising their roles. Cable is in the mix, he is the time-travelling son of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor (a clone of Jean Grey) who was trained to be the warrior in the future.

Moreover, Domino (mercenary turned X-Men) has been confirmed by the makers. Both of these can play an anti-hero in order to balance the scales to Deadpool’s “happy go murdery” persona. It’s not clear yet if other mutants will crossover, but there is strong speculation that there will be a new kind of mutant, never before seen in the comics or movies.

The first Deadpool movie global box office collections crossed $800 million marks while the cost of production was less than $60 million, making it the most successful superhero movie in the entire X-men franchise. Such an incredible showing at the global box-office helped studio gain confidence to create a vibrant Deadpool universe.

In an interview with THR, Rhett Rheese (script-writer) pointed out that if we want to compete with MCU or DCEU, the tone of the Deadpool sequel needs to be ‘sillier’ and ‘edgier’ as that really worked for the first movie. He said –

“I think what we stumbled into was a new tone, and I haven’t seen Logan, so it’s tough to say if they have it, but I think we hope to have our own universe that is defined less by characters and timelines and things like that and more by tone. The hope is Deadpool 2 and X-Force and future movies all be this new, consistent, sillier tone. More self-aware tone. And edgier and rated-R tone. We want to be establishing the universe but also focusing on each individual movie and not worrying too much about building a larger threat to the world or a larger plot machination.”

He added: “There is a responsibility we have towards the X-Force universe, and I do think we will not disappoint the fans going into Deadpool 2. Its purpose is not to set up X-Force. It will likely set up X-Force, but the drive of the movie won’t be our eyes on Movie 3.”

It is currently shooting scenes at Hatley Castle which is used for X-Mansion where young mutants are trained to harness their powers and become productive members of the society. The Deadpool sequel is not directly linked to X-Men universe, but there will be plenty of references to X-Men movies especially Wolverine.

The plot details are yet to be revealed. We can expect more set photos, leaks, teasers, behind-the-scenes footage etc. in the coming weeks. The movie is a hard R and will be over the top when it comes to trolling fellow superheroes and villains.

The official set photo revealed Wade Wilson all suited up and lounging outside Charles Xavier’s mansion. Deadpool posted this on twitter:

“Dropped by the X-Mansion. Big f*cking surprise. No one’s home.”

The creator of Deadpool Rob Liefeld recently had an interview at SDCC 2017, and he compared the sequel with a buddy cop movie Rush Hour.

It is definitely a weird analogy but one can see Deadpool and Cable hitting it off in the weirdest way possible. He said to ComicBook.com that the relationship arc between Deadpool and Cable (Josh Brolin) is not something fans can anticipate. He said:

“Josh is such a great actor, that’s where it starts, and gravitas, and who else really is going to hold their ground with Ryan as Wade/Deadpool. That is energy unbridled, and so you’ve gotta hold your ground. When I see the two of them I’m like “It’s going to be comic book’s equivalent to Rush Hour, and I don’t know if comic fans are ready for it. I think it’s going to be great.”

He brought up movies of Josh Brolin to lavishly praise him and said:

“If you only see No Country for Old Men and Sicario, you’ve seen two great totally separate Josh Brolin performances. The Llewelyn who is sullen but determined and doesn’t speak much but you follow him the whole time in No Country, and Sicario, he’s this wild, shoot-em-up CIA guy. The guy is a tremendous actor.”

Josh Brolin is truly one hell of a guy as he is also Thanos in the Avengers Infinity War while also shooting as Cable in Deadpool 2.

The comparison seems apt and came right after Brolin said that the second movie is funnier than the first.
